Puzzle and Paradox: A Political Economy of Madagascar by Mireille Razafindrakoto

Description: Puzzle and Paradox by Mireille Razafindrakoto, François Roubaud, Jean-Michel Wachsberger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Puzzle and Paradox analyses the economic and political history of Madagascar from independence to the early twenty-first century. Firmly grounded in economic and socio analysis, the study proposes an interpretive framework for Madagascars long-term trajectory by tracing the defining elements that have structured the countrys political economy. Publisher Description Madagascars long-term trajectory is unique: not only has GDP per capita been trending downward since 1960 (the puzzle), but every time the country has set out on the path of growth, it has been stopped in its tracks by a socio-political crisis that has shattered the hopes it raised (the paradox). No satisfactory explanation of this failure has been provided so far. This book elaborates a model of intelligibility of Madagascars downfall, based on an integrated political economy approach as well as mobilizing the most recent development theories. Combining a review of historical literature with original and sometimes unique statistical surveys, it proposes a general interpretative framework for the workings of Malagasy society. Richly documented and accessible, Puzzle and Paradox allows readers to understand Madagascars sociopolitical history while more broadly offering an opportunity to grasp the different dimensions of development in the Global South.
